Blockchain for Enterprise – Day 1

Blockchain technology is starting to encourage a direct value exchange over the internet. It is slowly moving towards mainstream adoption, and removing the friction in the exchange of value over the internet. It is fast approaching an inflection point where enterprise and greater mainstream adoption will ensue. As a result of the considerable structural advantages blockchain technology is expected to have significant impact on industries including payments, finance, insurance, energy, IoT, exchanges, music and many more. This track analyses just these impacts looking at various industries and the challenges and opportunities that blockchain will present to them.

When a DLT is Secure, Fair and Fast, What Will You Build?

Distributed ledger technology holds great promise, but to date, adoption has been stymied by the speed of first generation ledgers, which function on the order of seven transactions per second.

But if distributed ledgers could conduct transactions as fast or faster than the VISA network, and charge a fraction of a penny for each, what are the possibilities? From a music industry project from Matt Sorum (Guns N Roses), to MachineZone (one of the largest gaming companies), to Open VMS (the OS that powers critical infrastructure like nuclear power plants & stock markets), people are finding new uses for next generation distributed ledgers, which were not possible with early blockchain and other DLTs.

Keynote – Blockchain and smart contracts as a part of eSports and Gaming ecosystem

A short report on Gaming and e-Sports markets and trends. Right now e-Sports is one the hottest markets on a planet, but it’s still in “My Space era in early 2000”. It has a lot of challenges on the road to become the biggest Sport on a planet. eSports became the global phenomenon with arising of live broadcasting platforms and broadcasting studios. But what will be the second and the most important wave to push eSports forward? With unlocking of blockchain and smart-contracts technology, we have unique opportunity to answer this question.
